Hello-
We are a group of 5 players, ranging
from our early to mid-twenties to over 35, of mostly experienced players (I’ll
let you guess where I fit in there) and we have decided to open it up to
include another player. As a group, we have played together through the first
two adventures (Sunless Citadel & Forge of Fury) from the Tales from the
Yawning Portal campaign and are set to start the next adventure, the Hidden
Shrine of Tamoachan. We get along rather well and promote a cooperative & mature
(mostly 😊 ), but fun-loving
approach.
The number one rule: Don’t be a D*ck…Respect
each other.
About me (the DM) :
I am an old-school player/DM with a
preference for character, story-driven campaigns and tactical combat. I have
about 15 years’ experience playing, and about 12 years’ experience Dming, D&D 1 st and 2 nd
ed. and several other TTRPGs. There was a gap of a few years where I did not
play at all, but a few years ago I started back up on Roll20 and started
playing D&D5e. I tried a few D&D5e games on Roll20, but just could find
the right mix, so I started my own game and built a group. I prefer to run
games that include a good mix of role play & combat, strategy and tactics, clever
villains and mindless hordes. I will play the adversary according to their
ability and agenda. We often follow the cool and prioritize the Rules as
Intended (ROI) over the Rules as Written (RAW). That said, as a DM I will respect
the rules and use them as a framework to provide structure, dependability/consistency,
and continuity/uniformity.
The Game :
While this
will be fun, it will NOT be Easy.
These
adventures are based on old-school modules that some people feel may reflect that
more difficult style of earlier play. In addition, I will challenge the players.
In this group you will need, and develop, Player skill as well as Character skill.
This is our
game.
I respect
player backgrounds and work to incorporate them into the storyline in an
emerging fashion. Even though we are playing published material, I will add my personal
touch and with your interactions, we will make it our own. Player-character
actions will effect changes in the story/world. While I do not punish players, there
are consequences for your actions and making bad mistakes may likely result in
character death. Failure is an option, be ok with death…but if at first you do
not succeed, try, try, again! (Just not in the same way please! Lol)
Still here? Excellent! Almost done.
Looking for Players with the following Qualities :
Player skill more so than Character skill, with a strong preference
for cooperative play.
A desire for role-playing (Voices not a must, but a
bonus-even for trying), tactical combat, strategizing, creative spontaneity.
Prefer Rules as Intended to Rules as Written- shades of grey vs black
and white interpretation
Easy-going, Humility, Conscientiousness, Openness, Agreeableness,
and Flexible Thinking helps
A Good Sense of humor (This is a must)
Experience (some) with D&D (any version) and Roll20 preferred.
Bonus Points: If you can, or want to, Dm at some point; You can
do, or try to do, voices; you like to play more front line types of characters;
you think I’m super funny-free inspiration upon 1 st *gigglesnort*
What I expect from party members : To be respectful of
each other, have a cooperative play style, to know your character, to
contribute to the group experience. Show up on time, when scheduled (That’s
just basic adulting folks). Be prepared. I will be prepared, you had better be
as well.
What I expect from a DM : Rock your socks off, or in the least…Someone knowledgeable &
engaging, who works to maintain a good game balance, with the ability to adjust
in-flow and highlight each player. The DM has the right to alter what they see
fit, but with do so with the immense responsibility of honoring the sacred trust
of the players while maintaining balance, and do so mindfully with great care.
So, if you have read through this and you are still here:
Drop an application below or send me a message. Tell us something
about yourself and how and why you think you would be a good fit. You may
receive follow up questions and be invited for a pre-game get-to-know ya chat with
myself and maybe other players to see if we vibe. From there, you will be
invited to play with the group for a couple of sessions, to see how we both
like it, and if all is well asked to join as a ranking member (ok, so there is
no rank, but it sounds cool).
Hope to hear from you soon! Happy Gaming!
*Important Note* This is about fit with unique individuals in a
group setting. It is not reflective of you as a person, but your fit with that
context.
